He goes to his closet to find his PJs, and when he returns, the candy is gone, and his Labrador Retriever—who is deathly allergic to chocolate—is wolfing down the final treat, a Hershey’s bar.

That afternoon, our cat disappeared along with the family silver. We looked everywhere for our black kitty but never saw him again. It was a mystery that made us heartsick, especially my mother. All these years later, I like to think that the thief was a cat lover and that he treated our pet kindly. A cat burglar with a heart.(less)

Kimberly’s Quotes

“Before today, “till death do us part” had seemed like a quaint, romantic notion, a poetic line in an old-fashioned vow. But now she understood that it was a warning, that every deep marital love ends in a forced separation. In grief.”
― Kimberly Young, In the Event of Death

“She’d been right about this death business. Unforeseen calamities had been in store for them. But her anger was dissipating, replaced by a staggering sense of defeat. For they had not properly celebrated the life of Haley Chan. Had not properly said goodbye with tenderness and love.”
